I'm a teacher of Global Perspectives and Project Work at Nazarbayev Intellectual School in Aktobe, Kazakhstan. The subject is taught to high grade students in English language. The main purpose of the subject is developing critical thinking skills as well as giving knowledge to students in different spheres about global issues. The main activity of the students is to write research project works about global problems of their choice.
My professional development started 5 years ago after finishing Kazakh University of International Relations and World Languages in Almaty, Kazakhstan. When I was a university student I got a great opportunity to study in the United States. I am an alumnus of UGRAD (undergraduate exchange) program of 2007. At the university I was majoring in English language to become a teacher of the foreign language. I started to work in 2009 in the “International learning” center called ASERAS. After have been working there for 5 years, I decided to try something new. So, I apply to the position of the English language teacher in NIS. I was surprised to know that I was chosen to teach Global Perspectives after the interview with the administration of the school. This is how my professional life in NIS started.
